Bond between a cation (positive ion) and an anion (negative ion).
Explanation:
Ionic bonding is the result of opposite charges of ions being attracted to each other to form extremely strong bonds. Ionic bonding I would say is strong, if not stronger than most covalent bonds.
It happens when a cation (positively-charged ion), bonds with an anion (negatively-charged ion). This is due to their opposite charges. This is most common between a metal and a non-metal, due to their tendencies to become cations and anions, respectively.
In even a single gram of an ionic compound, let's take sodium chloride
